There are certain things I’m overly sensitive to. I completely admit that. Like many people, my life’s been rough. To this day, I’m amazed that I’m not a convict, drug addict or alcoholic because of my experiences both as a child and an adult. In many ways, I guess it …

So, I’m going to tell you a tale. It’s not a story of abuse, but it is heartbreaking all the same. There are few things in this world that can influence an individual. There’s the media and the arts. There’s nature. But there are few things that are as …

So, there was this period that I couldn’t come up with anything to write about. For 3 years I had the worst case of writer’s block. Anyone who’s been a writer and has been unable to think of a story to tell understands the frustration. It’s like being robbed of …
